November saw another car model reveal the GiGi EV from a new manufacturer, the GuGu Motors. It would be a true compliment if you call it a compact car with a futuristic sense of driving. With a host of features, an impressive interior, and reliable fuel economy, it is a city commuter.

Today’s blog is focused on this small electric car. Let’s find out its features, price, and feasibility in Pakistan’s automotive market.

Overview

MG Comet inspires the overall design of the GiGi EV. It’s a 2-door car with keyless entry. The emblem is kept illuminating along with a beefy profile to wade off the first impact of compactness by adding curvatures to the outer body.

GiGi Exterior

It has an upright front with a bulky hood, unique headlamps, and DRLs combined with old-fashioned halogen LED indicators. Having projected bumpers, brake lights, a reverse lamp, and a parking sensor, it has all the needed features for a city commuter. However, the 13-inch tires and fake diffusers don’t comply with the overall beefy exterior.

It has a shorter wheelbase, which gives it an incredible turning radius, but the suspension seems compromised and less reliable for bumpy city roads.

Interior

The upright interior of the GiGi EV will force you to forget all the flaws of the exterior. Specifically, its cushioned bucket-style seats will force you to depress the pedal to take a glimpse of a race track. Its entry and exit are quite comfortable, along with the modern aesthetics of the front cabin.

Being it a 2-door car, it is difficult to adjust 4 adults inside; however, the rear seats are best suited for kids provided with a compromised legroom.

Technology

Safety nuggets and driver assistance features matter the most today, deciding upon the futuristic appeal of a car, and for sure, GiGi EV hits that mark. With a 7-inch information cluster panel with battery charging details, driving range, AC controls, tire pressure monitoring system, reverse camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and parking sensor, it provides a host of useful features.

Moreover, the steering wheel is accommodated with cruise control, speed limiter, and audio buttons to enhance driving convenience. However, the safety features of ABS, traction control, ABD, and all-wheel disc brake add roadworthiness to this compact electric car.

Fuel Economy

Electric cars are massively judged concerning mileage and charging ability. With a 16.8 KWh usable battery, a driving range of 220 Km, and a charging time of 6 hours, it is definitely a better option than a gasoline engine.

It gives a top speed of 80 km at normal speed and a speed of 110 km in sport mode, along with a minimum mileage of 130 and a maximum of 160 without AC.

GiGi EV Price and Maintenance

It costs 4,600,000 PKR and is a free maintenance car with a number of 3000 charging cycles per battery that reduces efficiency to 70% after 500,000 Km.
